Digestive Conditions & Metabolism Strengthening

Digestive Conditions & Metabolism Strengthening

Digestive diseases are a very common occurance in the high stress, eat on the go culture we live in. Fortunately, when the digestive metabolism/function is weakened due to poor digestive habits, acupuncture & Chinese medicine have a profound effect on healing this.

A large number of diseases and conditions are caused by eating foods that are not ideal for an individual’s constitution. We see patient’s health imporve dramatically once their digestive strength is restored via acupuncture, Chinese medicine and proper diet customized for them.

Often people may think they are eating a “healthy” diet, but are actually doing themselves harm by not taking in to account their current condition, their constitution and how certian foods affect them.

What our goal is at Root & Branch is not just to treat you to help you gain optimal health. But to TEACH YOU how to STAY HEALTHY so you will be able to enjoy the lasting effects of a healthy holistic lifestyle.
